Van Gaal wins first Silverware as Man Utd Manager
Manchester United fly home on Tuesday having been unbeaten in their 5-game tour to America under the new Manager Louis Van Gaal.
It was rather a "friendly" match but still the final of International Cup. Liverpool put their best foot forward in the first half that saw Raheem Sterling's dynamic & twisting runs early on, who was brought down by Phil Jones with Gerrard converting the penalty.
This was Gerrard's 10th goal against Manchester United, the most by any player against them.
Rooney scored the equalizer for United in the 2nd-half with a nice little finish early on while Juan Mata deflected one to put his side ahead.
There seemed to be some sort of confusion in the 2nd-half, Rooney slotted home after the ball seemed to hit the crossbar
The goal was awarded initially, but replays showed clearly that the ball hit the stanchion and was out of play. And thus, the goal was ruled out by the refree as per the instructions given by the linesman.
Jesse Lingard rounded off the triumph with a fine finish late on to make the score 3-1.
